Works great with Mac Mini M1 via HDMI

I had endless problems with my previous 29" Dell ultrawide monitor on my new Mac M1 Mini - flickering, refusing to wake up, blurry text, displaying in YPbPr color space instead of RGB. The monitor worked fine over DisplayPort with my old Mac Mini i7 BTW). Having looked at the M1, it seems very picky about ultra-wide screens in general, so I took a chance replacing it with this LG. I'm happy to report that he's almost flawless now. The picture looks great at 2560 x 1080 resolution at 75Hz, very sharp text and vibrant colors. I'm running it over Dual HDMI KVM CKL and switching between a Win10 PC and a Mac Mini and this monitor looks great on both Windows and MacOS. The only minor issue is that LG takes a little longer than expected to wake up on the Mac, maybe 5-10 seconds, Dell took about a minute to wake up, blink, flicker, disconnect and reconnect, so that's miles. better but still a bit sluggish. I blame MacOS for this. However, Apple has released a statement stating that ultra-wide monitors have issues, so I won't let that discourage you from LG. Overall I am very happy with the monitor, the picture quality is excellent, the build quality is excellent, the price is right.
